I think Gamer missed the one exeption. Nations declare war at the beginning of their combat move phase, EXCEPT the United States who may declare war at the end of Round 3, prior to collecting income for their National Objectives.

@Cmdr:
Some questions from the beautiful city of Oslo:
1. When Germany and the Soviet Union are not at war with each other, can the UK land an aircraft in a territory belonging to the SU? F. ex. after attacking german ships? And vice versa: Can the SU land aircraft in a territory belonging to the UK (prior to the SU being at war with Germany)?
No. While both are allied nations, Russia is not at war with Germany, therefore, they cannot host the British to dinner. Once they are both at war with the same nation, you may use each other as per any other allied nation.
This is an over-simplification. Normally, two powers on the same side can occupy the same territory as long as both are at war (it doesn’t matter with whom). However, the USSR has a special rule that it must be at war Germany/Italy to do that on the Europe map, and it must be at war with Japan to do that on the Pacific map. So even if both UK and USSR were are war with Japan, USSR could not move units to United Kingdom unless it was at war with Germany and/or Italy.

Krieg is away and has asked me to watch the FAQ for him. When he comes back he’ll read all questions and answers and make any edits or additions necessary.
I’m not really “away” so much as very busy for a while. I’ll still be checking in once or twice a day on most days.

Thanks for helping- all you good people (-:

In the rulebook it is stated that the american naval unit can only stay in the three sea zone next to their homeland in the Atlantic side of the map, and can go anywhere except next to a Japanese land in the pacific.
Is it fair to assume that you can move the planes into London? And you can stilll go after South America, I suppose?
If American Planes are in London, and Germany attack, the planes are not into the fight if America is not a war, but what happen if Germany takes London? Where do the planes go? Let’s say Scotland has been taken. Where do they go?

Well, not really the rulebook, but the Alpha2 rules that are Larry’s latest, which can be found on his website.

NO. Read the sidebar on page 15 of the Europe 1940 manual. USA cannot move any units to territories of Allies whatsoever, until USA is at war. Also, note that transports are not allowed in Z102 (not that there’s any reason to put them there, other than baiting the Axis to start a war)

American planes are not allowed in London when America is not at war.

Too bad the Philippino plane cannot go to Australia either.
Theoretically, it COULD go to China, but that’s out too, I believe

Can’t go to China, even though the flying tigers somehow got there. :-P

Yea…sucks dontit?

Allright, but the US can and it is encouraged to go in South America?
And in the Pacific, they cannot go anywhere?

I told you to read the sidebar of Page 15 of the Europe 1940 manual. It’s very clear that a power that is not at war (that begins the game neutral) cannot move land or air units into neutral territories (first sentence under “Movement:”)
And in the Pacific, they cannot go anywhere?
As you said, NAVAL units (including fighters on carriers) can go anywhere on the Pacific board that is not adjoining a Japanese controlled territory. LAND and AIR units can only park on USA controlled territories before the USA is at war with an Axis power, and this applies to both Europe and Pacific halves.
USA cannot even move into Canada until at war with the Axis.
Note that USA can move to zones such as Z54, but cannot use the Allied naval base until USA is at war. So you could get to Australia from Hawaii in one move using the Hawaii naval base, but you can’t get back to Hawaii from Australia in one move (can only move two spaces from Z54) until the USA is at war. This has tripped me up before - I move to 54 thinking I can get back to 26 in one turn but I can’t. -

Well, prior to US involvment (or Dec 1941), that lightning could easily represent loaned Soviet planes. After Nov 1941 the tigers were more or less in place. So, if you want to be accurate about it, simply switch out the US plane for a soviet plane until the US is in the war (upon which time the soviet plane gets replaced). Or don’t be so specific about what that chinese plane really represents beyond an airforce that could never be replaced by the chinese.

Can an American transport pickup American troops in Morroco and than use the British naval base in Girbralter to move 3 sea zones?
-
I guess a better question is explain to me how the US couldn’t use the naval base in Gibraltar. In your example you have US at war with Germ(hence why they can move into Morocco in the first place) So US and UK are allies….

I figure because the transports are operating on the African coast, they wouldn’t be able to use the naval base on the opposite coast.

If that is the question, then you’re incorrect. The naval base services all allied naval ships in the sea zone it is adjacent too (or more than one as the case may be.) Just because you are collecting units on Morocco does not negate your use of the Gibraltar Naval Base just like picking up units in Korea does not negate use of the Japanese Naval Base.

Ok, thanks for that.

Hello!
Questions:
1. Is sz 119 adjacent to sz 109? (Or do you really have to move through sz 118 and 108 to get from sz 119 to sz 109?)
2. Is sz 118 adjacent to sz 109?
Thanks!
-
Both 119 and 118 are adjacent to SZ 109 on the west coast of England
